‘Parks and Recreation’ Chicago Cubs World Series Win: 2015 ‘Ron & Jammy’ Episode Predicted Cubs Ending 108-Year Championship Drought

Baseball is no stranger to game predictions from all sorts of cult following, futuristic movie releases, and even TV series. On this note, NBC's "Parks and Recreation," a political comedy sitcom, quite predicted the Chicago Cubs World Series Championship win.

It seemed the sitcom knew it all along. This specific Cubs winning the World Series forecast happened on the seventh season of "Parks and Recreation" entitled "Ron & Jammy." The sitcom's co-creator Michael Schur explained to the Washington Post that the forecast of the Cubs winning the Worlds Series wasn't by accident.

Schur was referring to the brief line in season 7 of "Parks and Recreation" where Tom and Andy visited Chicago. In fact, they were visiting Tom's ex-girlfriend Lucy. At some point in their conversation, Lucy told her guests that people of the Windy City much more pleasant to be around. "And obviously, everyone's in a really great mood now because of the Cubs winning the series."

What a home run for the "Parks and Recreation" character Lucy for predicting the 8-7 victory of the Chicago Cubs over the Cleveland Indians during game 7. The episode "Ron & Jammy" aired in 2015, a year away from the Cubs major win.

Meanwhile, Washington Post also reported that the episode "Ron & Jammy" was written 6 months prior to the 7th season of "Parks and Recreation" airing. As a matter of fact, Schur is a lifelong baseball fan and avid Boston Red Sox supporter. The "Parks and Recreation" co-creator said that he believed that the Chicago Cubs were going to win eventually, from the moment Epstein signed in 2011. Schur has been a fan of the Cubs ever since Epstein helped Boston end its own World Series championship drought in 2004.

Similar to the massively groundbreaking news of the Cubs winning the coveted 2016 World Series, the prediction made by “Parks and Recreation” also broke Twitter.
